To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, SIBYL A. Soon, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, county and State of New vented certain new and useful Im rovements in Block-Packs, of which the fol owing 1s a full, clear, and exact description.

Among the principal objects whlch the present invention has in view are: To provide a pack of leveling devices held intact without necessitating containers therefor; to distribute articles of the character mentioned in small packs of uniform number to reduce the labor factor incident to pack ng said .articles;'to expose the article for vlew without impairing the pack; and to maintain the disposition of various articles of the pack in,alinement.

Description. 1 I

The wedge shaped blocks 8 shown in the drawings are employed principall for leveling tables in restaurants and ot er places, and to this end are carried by the Walters employed in the restaurants and by the customers of the restaurants. They are for convenience sold on the marketsin the form of solid blocks as drawings.

For convenience the blocks 8 are extracted from the pack successively. The separation of each block is facilitated by removing the key ball 9 which is accomplished by releasthe tie 10 of the thread 11.

he thread 11 is passed through the per-- forations 12 one of which is prov ded in each block in alined relation with all of the perforations in the other blocks, as seen bestin Fig. 2 of the drawing:-

When theblocks are disposed as seen in Fig. 2 of the drawings a straight channel is formed by the various perforations -12 through whic the thread 11 is extended. The thread 11 is looped and at the end of the loop a, master ball 13 is mounted. The opposite end of the ork, have in-.

shown in Fig. 10f the loop is passed through the perforation in the ke ball 9 andtied in any convenient and suitable manner.

To prevent the blocks 8 rotating aboutthe channel formed by v label 14 is pasted on the pack, as is seenbest in' Fig. 1 of the drawings. The dimensions of the label 14: equal the dimensions of one Patented Oct. is. 1921.

side of the pack. The surface of the label adhering as it does to the butts of the wedge blocks 8- as shown best in Fig. 2 of the drawing, prevents the rotation not only of the blocks thus adhered, but also of the blocks interleaved therewith.

I The label 14 serves-the useful carrying the name, tions, for use of the instruct as to the best method of removing each block from the pack.v This is accompurpose of trade mark, and direcblocks 8 and is used to plished by releasing the tie 10 and then rea restaurants. The blocks-may be also used for purposes of silencing loose windows in sashes, or doors in'frames.

While I have herein shown the blocks 8 as constructed from wood, it will be understood .that other suitable material may be employed which will serve the same purpose and will prove sufficiently durable to withstand rough usage to which such blocks are subject in service.
